San Antonio, TX - July 7, 2009 - Denim Group, an IT consultancy that develops secure software and helps organizations assess and mitigate risks with their existing software, announced today that it has launched ThreadStrong, a self-paced online training curriculum to teach developers how to build security into their applications.

ThreadStrong's curriculum is generated by senior software security consultants from Denim Group. This core team spends a significant amount of their time actually building software, so examples and other content are pulled from real world experience conducting code reviews and secure software initiatives.

ThreadStrong's courses include Introduction to Application Security Concepts, Application Security for Java, Application Security for .NET, and Threat Modeling. The courses range in length from 1 to 4 hours and are based on the e-Learning model, which allows team members to learn at their own pace and avoids the added expense and logistics of employing trainers to visit multiple locations. In addition, testing and reporting features enable managers to measure, monitor and report to auditors on employee progress.

"There's a growing need for application security training and our experts who created ThreadStrong have trained thousands of developers worldwide," said Dan Cornell, Principal of Denim Group. "ThreadStrong also ensures that team members know about new threats and attack techniques by providing regular updates to course content to keep employees current on industry issues."

Denim Group's eLearning Content Available for Industry Partnerships Denim Group designed its content strategy so that industry partners could license specific learning modules, using their brand and tailoring it specific to their customer needs. "In developing the courseware strategy for ThreadStrong, our goal was to also help our partners develop new market opportunities for compliance and on-going training," added Cornell.
